It seems today everything is going green and/or natural. So why shouldn't your skin care? I have sensitive skin and I'm prone to redness so I was thrilled when Skin Free gave me the opportunity to try out some of their 100% natural skin care products! Skin Free™ Skin Care Products are all natural, vegan ingrediants that contain no perfumes, petroleum products, harmful chemicals, steriods, colorants and are not tested on animals. They also aren't greasy or oily!

"Skin Free is recommended for individuals with: Extreme Dry Skin,Skin or Fragrance Allergies, Psoriasis, Dermatitis, Eczema, Pregnant Moms, Babies, The Elderly, Diabetics, Renal Patients, or After Radiation or Chemotherapy."One of the products Skin Free sent me to review was their Sweet and Smooth Sugar Scrub . I'm a big fan of body scrubs in general - but this one was amazing! I use a little bit on my legs before shaving and my legs are silky smooth by the time I'm done! It also is great for a DIY pedicure or manicure! This scrub was particularly great on hands - the natural oils in helped to keep my hands moisturized all day long ! The only thing about it is because the product is made with all natural olive and almond oil it can make your shower a little bit slippery - so just make sure to soap up and rinse off after using! :) Though Lite Moisture(and all Skin Free products) are scent free I swear the product had a light almond scent to it - which is very nice! :)

Skin Free also sent me their Niaouli Butter Stick™ to try. This product is great as well! I was a little worried that it would rub off on my clothes or furniture - but it didn't! It's a clear, and super light formula that's also super moisturizing for those extra dry areas - like knees and elbows. I think it will also be great to use in the winter if you're hands get super dry. {That is, if you live in an arctic like we do here in Massachusetts! :) } It's also a convenient size and container - so it's easy to throw it in your bag and not worry about it getting crushed or squeezed! (This is a detail I seem to rate in all of my reviews... what does that say about me?)

But of all three of the products I had the chance to review, my absolute favorite was the Lite Moisture for Blemish Prone Skin. I have a very hard time finding a moisturizer that is strong enough for my dry/combination skin without being greasy or heavy. And Lite Moisture for Blemish Prone Skin was the answer to my problem! This product went on very lightly and immediately moisturized my face! I don't typically have issues with acne now that I'm in my 20's - and I swear it's because I am picky about my skincare products and always, always, always wash my face and take off my makeup at night. (And use products that help fight off acne, even when I don't have it a breakout-- prevention is key!)

Skin Free has a wonderful line of Skin Care products - and I would definitely recommend them! The best part? They are available at your local Walgreens and CVS as well as drugstore.com!
